Belly Bandits? Belly Bands for after delivery? Need your advice

Ok FTM here & I was hoping to get some suggestions and recommendations on what you are going to use, what you have used, if you will use a post partum belly band?? What brand do you suggest? What did you buy? What have you tried and loved or tried and hated? Do you think these work? I saw some Tanks called Mother Tuckers but those look like they may not be nursing friendly? How soon would you suggest wearing one? While still in the hostpital or a few days after delivery?

Sorry lots of questions but figure you ladies are the the ones I value their advice, opinions, and suggestions. Thanks girlies!

Married my Prince Charming 7/11/08. Princess Alaina joined us 11/2/12 & Princess 2 is due 6/30/15.

I got a belly bandit. The manufacturer recommends getting two of them, which I will not be doing, because you lose your waist so quickly and need the next size down for it to be effective. Im going to just get another type of cincher if it gets too big

I'm a FTM, but I heard so many good things about the belly bandit that I broke down and bought one. I tried looking for cheaper options, but I was afraid they'd be too uncomfortable and I'd never wear them. Like PP said, they suggest buying two but they are way too expensive for that. I will either find something cheaper, or sew in another panel of velcro if it gets too big too quicly (I bought a small so I'm hoping it won't!).

Sorry no help here but also curious. I saw two on "sale" at a consignment event. They were both stil marked $30ish. That seemed quite a bit to me. Guess I'm gonna be bloated belly lady for awhile cuz I don't have $30 much less to blow on that.

i used the belly bandit for the first time after my 3rd baby (he's 2 1/2 now) - i am telling you, BUY IT! and if you're in doubt about sizing, BUY TWO! i know that they are not inexpensive - and things are not financially easy for us - but seriously, after seeing the difference it made in how my body recovered, my husband didn't complain for a second when i bought two new ones to use after i have this baby.

the reason that you need 2 is that you really will shrink like crazy if you use it - as soon as i got to my room after delivering my son, my husband literally broke a sweat trying to put the bigger size on me - and the NEXT morning i was able to easily put on the smaller size by myself. no joke.
